Scripting and Automation
4K and Pro editions of vMix include powerful programming capabilities through the Scripting feature.
Consider this is a highly advanced version of Shortcuts, instead of a simple function assigned to a keyboard
key
you can assign any code you can think of including tasks like downloading internet content and assigning it
to a title.
The process goes like this:
1. Create a Script from the Scripting tab in Settings and assign it a unique Name.
2. Create a Shortcut and select "ScriptStart" as the function and type in the name of the script in the Script
Name box.
Scripting supports two different languages when writing your script:
VB.NET Scripting
Web Scripting
VB.NET Scripting
vMix Scripting supports the powerful and easy to understand VB.NET language when writing your script.
Hello World Example
Consider the following vMix take on the infamous "Hello World" application:
Input.Find("NewsHD.xaml").Text("Headline") = "Hello World!"
Or put another way:
dim i = Input.Find("NewsHD.xaml")
i.Text("Headline") = "Hello World!"
